BMC has a white paper on this.
Yes, you can extend the class.  Create a new namespace to put the new fields in 
and give them UNIQUE names.  As long as the names do not come into conflict 
with a BMC field name all will be well.  Storage in the new namespace will 
protect it from most things that an upgrade will do to it.
IMO, removing BMC_ prefix will seriously break the ENTIRE cmdb, but it can be 
done. Instead of renameing the form consider changing the display name to be 
computersystem. This would give you the same effect, but a minimum of impact
You can join the CS to the app forms assuming there is a good key.  Be sure not 
to prefix it with BMC_ and it should survive an upgrade unless one to the two 
end forms are dropped for some reason.
